ROME - An old toilet left in front of a vandalized Donald Trump campaign sign has police convinced someone is trying to send a not-so-subtle political message.

The toilet was dumped in front of a political sign earlier this month in the 300 block of State 13 in Rome. Police Department Officer Mark Stashek said the location of the discarded toilet was not a coincidence. The person responsible had written on the porcelain fixture that it was courtesy of conservative Milwaukee radio talk-show host Charlie Sykes, Stashek said.

Someone also had slashed the Trump sign from top to bottom, Stashek said. The person also left a note on the sign, but the note probably won't help find the responsible party, he said.

"It was signed 'Hillary,'" Stashek said.
